57i XML menus: "All Page" works but goes into Meet-me conference room menu?

TrixBox 2.8.0.4 with latest 2.3.0 Aastra XML scripts and 57i phones. For paging, I have setup an all-page group at 800 and have setup a 57i CFG softkey "All Page" to speeddial 800#. The paging group works fine, but for some reason the 57i XML menus go into meet-me/conference room mode after the page connects. This results in a "Configuration Error - No conference room configured..." error (if no conferences are setup) or it goes into the Meet-me menu (if a conference room is setup). This means to end the page the user must first exit the Meet-me/conference room menu and then end the page - strange and non-intuitive to the end user.

I did some research and found that Asterisk page groups are done using "temporary" conference rooms - I wonder if this is tripping the XML scripts up?

Anyone else seen this or have a solution?

Thanks

Dynamic meetme...

This is actually a known bug, the paging is interpreted by the XML scripts as being part of a meetme conference. This bug has been fiexd and will be part of the next version 2.3.1 but I understand this can be very annoying for your users, so I have put the file to replace at http://65.205.71.13/2.3.0/aastra_daemon1
So just replace aastra_daemon1 under /var/www/html/asterisk with the new one and this should do the trick.

Please let us know if this works for you.

Regards

Fixed!

Thanks for that, I replaced the file and rebooted and it works now. Note I had looked around for the issue but hadn't stumbled upon it. Is there a know-issues list or forum somewhere that I could consult in the future?

Your scripts are awesome by the way - great way to sell Asterisk+Aastra phones.

One feature suggestion:
Any reason why we can't do a intercom page from the Directory XML application? You can dial a user, but it would be nice to be able to Icom them too. There is a spot on the left side menu under Select:
Select
Icom
Dial

Thanks again.

You are welcome...

Glad to hear that it fixed your problem. Unfortunately there is no public list of the know issues because some issues are so specific to the configuration that it would be very difficult to describe.

Regarding the intercom in the PBX directory, it is actually there (just checked that) but the key is not displayed if the intercom prefix has not been properly configured, you can do a "check_install" to check if the prefix is properly configured.

Icom in directory

Re-ran check_install, the prefix is setup:

Intercom prefix configured (*80) .......................... Passed

It is also in the phone's MAC.CFG file:
sip intercom type: 2
sip intercom prefix code: *80
sip intercom line: 1

Icom in directory

That is weird, maybe I did that in 2.3.1? Are you running the 2.3.0 scripts?

Can you open /var/www/html/aastra/asterisk/directory_4.php (this is the code for the PBX directory on 55i/57i) and look at "$intercom", you should find it and you will see that if available an "Icom" key is showed up.

Not sure what is goind on there...

ICom Working now

Well it just started working, not sure why. AFAIK it hadn't worked before, nothing to do with your 2.3.1 change. Not sure why it started working just now - I must be losing it ;-)

Anyways - thanks a lot for your help, I'm done bugging you now!

One side effect of aastra_daemon1 fix

One side effect I noticed for the aastra_daemon1 fix for dynamic meet-me's is that the "Meet-me" XML page no longer goes to the conference status page (ie: the one with mute/kick/etc.) automatically after joining a conference. Instead, it drops into the call page after joining (ie: the one with Drop, Xfer, etc.). No big deal but I thought I'd mention it.

Fixed for me

Thank you! The aastra_daemon1 update fixed the conference room/all page bug in my 6757i. (I also saw the side effect that Harding noted, no longer having the conference status page)

And a big thank you for the scripts!

Unrelated bug

Since I can't delete my double-post I can mention a slight bug on 6757i I have found when I press the services softkey at the top and go into an application like CNN. When I press EXIT the services LED stays lit and the Services button is unresponsive for about a minute until the LED turns off.

Meet-me

I've upgraded to the XML scripts version 2.3.0-1 and phone firmware for Aastra 6757i to 2.6.0.1007. I now get the meet-me conference room auto displaying after entering a conference room. I would like to disable this because it is an annoyance to the users who attempt to dial another call, but meet-me pops up and they must exit it. Any thoughts?

Meet-me automatic display

I guess I will make it configurable in the next version, in the meantime you can modify aastra_daemon1 to disable the feature

Around line 594 Just comment the following lines with a '#' character
# Handler for meetme events
if($AA_FREEPBX_MODE=='1')
{
# $asm->add_event_handler('meetmejoin','asm_event_meetme');
# $asm->add_event_handler('meetmeleave','asm_event_meetme');
}

Then restart aastra_daemon1 using "service aastra-daemon1 restart", that should do the trick.
